Chapter 81 Questioning
Finally, Mu Qingyu and her group of five followed Jin Qinjiu and Jing Chen to the air-raid shelter beneath the inpatient department.
This air-raid shelter is larger than the one under the outpatient building because people live there, so they moved some things from upstairs to make a simple partition.
Simply put, there are two parts here – Jin Qinjiu's territory and Jing Chen's territory, and it is obvious that Jin Qinjiu's territory is much larger.
When Mu Qingyu and her group entered, many people quietly gathered around, and most of them were wary and fearful of them.
Not everyone witnessed Mu Qingyu's killing, but now, everyone should have heard about it.
Mu Xiaoxiao was carried back, and her wounds have been mostly treated.
But Mu Xiaoxiao was still in pain—a pain that felt like her nerves were being constantly being gnawed away, which made her both afraid and angry.
Then she saw Mu Qingyu walk straight toward her, and everyone around her disappeared, not even Jin Qinjiu.
Mu Xiaoxiao was instantly terrified.
"What else do you want to do? I didn't say anything!" She lay half-reclined on the bed, her hands gripping the blankets tightly, staring at Mu Qingyu in fear.
"Don't worry." Mu Qingyu grinned, "I'm not going to kill you, just like you didn't want to kill me before. I just wanted to talk to you about why you changed your mind and suddenly killed me."
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao had long suspected that Mu Qingyu was also reborn, when Mu Qingyu said it to her face with a smile without any hesitation, for some reason, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine.
That was the fear of being targeted by an evil spirit.
“It’s not that I want to kill you, it’s that Cheng Xijun forced me to kill you,” Mu Xiaoxiao said through gritted teeth.
Before Mu Qingyu came to find Mu Xiaoxiao, she had already asked Jin Qinjiu to help clear the area. They spoke in low voices, and Mu Qingyu was not afraid of being overheard.
"Why did he kill me? Weren't you the saintly woman praised by everyone in the base? Didn't you have a lot of followers and lackeys? How could Cheng Xijun force you?" Mu Qingyu was genuinely puzzled.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. This past life wasn't a pleasant memory for her either! So when she was reborn, thinking she could start over, she was overjoyed!
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't want to say anything, but Mu Qingyu stood in front of her, backlit, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
She could only say, "Mu Qingrong is dead. He always protected you while he was alive, and Cheng Xijun has disliked you for a long time. Besides, after Mu Qingrong died, what you did... Does Cheng Xijun really not see that you want revenge?"
Mu Qingyu thought about it and realized that it made sense. Back then, Mu Qingrong was always being watched whenever she came to see her, so it wasn't surprising that Cheng Xijun would pay attention to her.
Mu Qingyu remained silent, staring intently at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and continued, "It's all because of that damned saintess. The resources in my spatial storage have been squandered for so long, and they're almost empty... Cheng Xijun and Huo Siyu know I'm about to be completely drained..."
“At that time, the base was on the verge of collapse, and they were planning to leave. If I didn’t agree to work for them, they would abandon me…”
Mu Qingyu didn't believe Mu Xiaoxiao's words. Even if Mu Xiaoxiao's space no longer contained supplies, spatial ability users themselves had inherent value, especially with such a large space like Mu Xiaoxiao's—how much could it help transport during an escape!
Moreover, Mu Xiaoxiao had her own supporters at that time and was not a helpless person.
"You're lying." Mu Qingyu smiled, flicked her finger, and a small, electrified flame shot towards the wound on Mu Xiaoxiao's leg.
Mu Xiaoxiao screamed again, her old wounds not yet healed and new ones added!
"Mu Qingyu, are you crazy? Are you insane? Why are you torturing me? How dare you treat me like this? You stole my space, you stole my opportunity! I've been reborn, everything should be mine!" Mu Xiaoxiao screamed in pain, oblivious to everything else.
Mu Qingyu slightly raised her hand: "Shut up!"
Seeing that Mu Qingyu was about to unleash another burst of flames, Mu Xiaoxiao was indeed terrified and immediately shut her mouth. She changed her attitude and pleaded with Mu Qingyu, "Sister Xiaoyu, look, I have nothing left now. Perhaps there's a special reason why God allowed us to be reborn together. Sister Xiaoyu, for the sake of us being like parents, please take me with you and leave this place..."
Mu Qingyu's eyes widened in surprise: "Mu Xiaoxiao, do you know what nonsense you're spouting? I didn't kill you, you should be kneeling before me. How dare you beg me to take you away?"
"I told you, it wasn't me who wanted to kill you. It was Cheng Xijun. You killed him, you got your revenge!" She grabbed her hair in a fit of rage, showing none of her gentle, fairy-like image in front of Mu Qingyu: "I'll never fight you for space again, why can't you let me go? Why can't you help me?"
"I've suffered enough because of you. I have nothing left. Even someone like Huo Siyu dared to abandon me... I finally made it... I finally made it... Why did you have to show up?"
"You have so many supplies, you took Mu Xiangyuan, didn't you? You have so many supplies, why can't you share even a little with me..."
Mu Xiaoxiao stammered incoherently at Mu Qingyu. Seeing her somewhat frantic state, Mu Qingyu once again flicked the flame from her fingertip—a little shock to calm her down! Wasn't there some kind of electroconvulsive therapy before?
"Ah! Mu Qingyu—" Due to the immense pain and mental pressure, Mu Xiaoxiao finally screamed Mu Qingyu's name frantically, her voice filled with anger, despair, and resentment.
Jin Qinjiu finally couldn't hold back and came over. This was the second time Mu Xiaoxiao had screamed. If he didn't do anything, he, as the manager here, would lose face.
"What happened!" Jin Qinjiu asked, suppressing his anger, his gaze fixed on Mu Qingyu. Rumor had it that the real daughter of the Mu family, who had been mistakenly reported as a child, was a poor girl who grew up in an orphanage.
Jin Qinjiu had seen Mu Qingyu at a banquet before. She was a thin and wiry girl, wearing a princess dress and standing behind Old Master Mu with her head down. She didn't look like a real princess at all.
At that time, Mu Xiaoxiao and Mu Xiangnan stood together, dressed in formal attire, looking more like pampered young ladies.
But now, only half a year has passed, and everything seems to have turned upside down.
Mu Qingyu smiled nonchalantly: "It's probably because we have some differences of opinion. Mainly—" She pointed at Mu Xiaoxiao with pity and said, "She seems to have some mental issues, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take good care of her."
Mu Xiaoxiao was terrified whenever she saw Mu Qingyu raise her hand, and she screamed again, which seemed to confirm Mu Qingyu's words that she had mental problems.
Jin Qinjiu hurriedly went over to comfort Mu Xiaoxiao, while Mu Qingyu had already turned and left gracefully.
